I love tis mug... I have had it for years, and enjoy it more and more, each time I read this verse...
Let the Wealthy & Great,
Roll in Splender & State,
I envy them not I declare it.
I eat my own Lamb,
My Chickens and Ham,
I shear my own Fleece & I wear it.
I have Lawns, I have Bowers, I have Fruits, I have Flowers.
The Lark is my morning alarmer,
So jolly boys now,
Here's God Speed to the Plough,
Long Life & Success to the Farmer.
{nothing without work}
This mug dates from the 1870's, and on the bottom it reads: A.W. Gale 'Bee' Farmer...

Well said! Hope you went home and put your feet up. I promise to have a better booth the next time we do that show... I messed up and missed an opportunity. A lesson learned! Great to see you! Big hugs...
Hello,
I just acquired a similar mug but mine is black transferware that has been coloured. The image and bottom are the same as yours. Can you please tell me how you came to know its age? I've done a web search, but haven't been able to find much.
Thank you.
